Drive in movie to see Brave

The new Brave movie came out and Tatum had been talking about wanting to go for months!  We'd also talked about and had on our summer fun list, to go to a drive in movie.  So we put the two together and we packed up the car after dinner and headed to the Santee Drive in.  It's been years since I've been to a drive in so I kind of forgot what it's like.  You pay per person and then you're in for the night.  We got there as soon as it opened at 7:30 so we could get a good spot.  Look at the kids faces, they loved sitting in the back of the truck!

And they also loved the candy!  We stopped at CVS to get some yummies before hitting the show.

And here's the big screen!  The movie didn't start till almost 9 since we had to wait for it to get dark enough to see the show.

So we passed the time people watching.  There was a large group of young girls next to us, maybe a birthday or something.  Tatum and Ty loved watching them play with bubbles.  There was also a few small kids on the other side of us and Tatum and Ty enjoyed play hide and seek and Simon says with them. :)

Look at the crowd!  This picture doesn't do it justice but the parking lot was packed!  And since you get to stay all night, many people were in their pjs with chairs pitched and pizza slices being passed.  I didn't really understand why grown people were in pjs but I guess since you pay to get in, you plan to see both movies, which in this case was Brave and Avengers, which meant you were watching till well after midnight!  We drove out after Brave, which was late enough, 10:30!

The parents. :)  I don't know as we'll go back to the drive in this summer, it was a late night for our youngin's.  But we all had fun and we crossed another fun summer activity off our list!
